Sam’s story by Fiona Chin-Yee

Sam’s story by Fiona Chin-Yee, illustrated by Bill Johnson. Project Sam Publishing Company, 1988.

Sam is trying to make sense of his world and family following the cot death of his baby brother, Little Pat. Sam's mother is overwhelmed by grief and cannot cope with Sam's questions. Sam remembers the day Little Pat died, when nothing was explained to him. Now his home doesn't feel like home anymore. Sam believes in magical thinking, that if he is good and brave then the big men (the ambulance drivers) will bring Little Pat back. Sam's Gran comes to visit to help Sam understand about Little Pat's death. [Includes Parent Guide]
